Albany Riverfest

Albany’s signature event is Riverfest in August. The festival celebrates the village’s deep connection to the Sugar River with a host of family-friendly activities. Riverfest 2025 promises fun on the river, plus softball and bean bag tournaments, deep-fried cheese curds, and a parade on Sunday. Music lovers will enjoy street dances with Blue Steel on Friday night and Pink Houses on Saturday. Don’t miss the crazy good fun when teams of two compete for honors in the Bed Races, held right downtown on Water Street.
